Phil Nevilles Injury.

Agreed because you have to be big and good in the air to be a decent centre mid.

Look at the worlds best-Xavi, Iniesta, Fabregas etc. They're not exactly very big (at all)

There fancy dans mate, we need yard dogs who are big, strong and most of all, good in the air.

Powerhouses so to speak, if your not 6ft 2 you shouldn't play in midfield.

Should've bought Kevin Nolan from the Barcodes...

I remember those intelligent Blues on Radio Merseyside's football phone in begging Moyes to sign Kevin Nolan.

He was supposedly the closest thing to Steven Gerrard in the League.

We would be lucky to have such a great player like Kevin Nolan, lucky.

Had to work the past couple days so just watched the game. The result is bad enough but for Neville to go down for the whole season is well its going to really hurt us. Hope at 32, his career isn't over.

Our captain out for six months with damaged ligaments. FFS, it just keeps on getting worse. Ah well, a few on here probably consider it a blessing in disguise.

I'm quite sure his doubters will start to respect him from now on. You don't know what your missing, until it's gone. Hope you have a healthy and quick recovery, Pip.

Nail, meet hammer.

As for losing Neville, I saw the headlines when I got into work this morning and my first thought was, "the hits just keep on coming."

We can't catch a break (no pun intended)

Neville Has Ligament Damage – News Archive – News – evertonfc.com – The Official Website of Everton Football Club

Phil Neville has damaged knee ligaments and could face ‘a lengthy lay-off'.
The Blues skipper was stretchered from the field during Everton's 2-1 defeat at Fulham on Sunday and, speaking exclusively to evertonfc.com, Head Physiotherapist Mick Rathbone confirmed that the player could now be out for a while.
"An MRI scan on Monday morning has confirmed our fears and it has revealed that Phil has damaged ligaments at the back of his knee," he said.
"He will now rest it for 48 hours to allow the swelling to go down and he will then see a specialist in London before a decision is made on how best to manage the injury."
Neville sustained the injury following a second-half challenge with Fulham's Dickson Etuhu, which Everton manager David Moyes was unhappy with.
Neville's absence means the Blues have problems at right-back for the visit of AEK Athens on Thursday, with Tony Hibbert suspended and John Heitinga ineligible.
"It's too early to estimate length of absence but I fear he is certainly facing a lengthy lay-off," added Rathbone.

I just hope this is the 1st and last major injury blow we get this season, anymore and we're screwed

Thats possibly the rightest thing ever wrote on here.

Luckily our Manager has a better idea what he's doing, well apart from playing Osman on the right like.

Im sorry, but WHAT??????????????

Fully agree, strip him of the captaincy and flog him for that.
